BEFORE THE FIRST

In 2020, many people encountered online performance for the first time.
We asked some of our peers “When was your first online performance?”

“Before the first” is a brief glimpse of the diversity of online
performance created before 2020.

DISCLAIMER

“Before the first” is a response to the many claims of online “firsts” in
2020. We aim to draw attention to the long and rich history of online
performance, which stretches back to the earliest days of the internet.
This video is only a very tiny sample of this field of creative work.

For some of the artists in “Before the first”, the performance shown was
not their very first online performance. Many early works were never
documented, or for other reasons later works have been used. This video is
a snapshot and provocation to further exploration of the field, rather than
an historical record.
